Description: This is the first time I am doing bird photography from my floating hide. I got zero photos this time, but that is going to change this winter.

A - It is a small mirror so that I can see the screen: ulanzi.com/products/customized-for-selfies-mirrorless-camera-flip-screen?_pos=2&_psq=sel&_ss=e&_v=1.0 Q - What lens are you using in the video? A - The Tamron 150-600 mm G2 Q - why Is the tent not waterproof? A - (from the company) It's water repellent. Since the tent has windows with netting it is meaningless to make the tent waterproof. We could have used waterproof tent fabric for the tent but that would be a big mistake: it is considerably hotter in the sunshine and the climate in the hide would become an ordeal. And we had another reason to choose for polycotton: it makes far less noise than nylon and reflects less light. If you are worried about your camera you can choose one of our rain covers (shower cap we call them) or build something yourself. ••• GEAR IN THIS VIDEO ••• Floating Hide II: mrjangear.com/shop/floating-hide-ii The Suit: mrjangear.com/shop/the-suit Gear list on my website.
